After that secretive summit, John Bolton angered North Korea when he compared the country's path to denuclearization to Libya's, leading experts to believe Trump's hawkish national security adviser was trying to sabotage the talks.

The 1950-53 Korean War was concluded only with a truce, not a peace treaty, leaving the combatants technically still at war. Mr Trump says signing a peace agreement would probably be "the easy part". The late-night jaunt was by far the most unfiltered public look at the young Kim, one of the world's most reclusive leaders who oversees a tightly controlled dictatorship.

After all, having aides present in high-stakes meetings - especially ones with adversaries like the leader of North Korea - provides a president with a modicum of protection, ensuring there are staffers on hand to take accurate notes.

Pompeo, who shifted to his current role in the spring after serving as Trump's Central Intelligence Agency director, spent Monday morning preparing with his top advisers, aides said. Mr Kim has called him "mentally deranged" and a "dotard". North Korea has spent decades building up a nuclear arsenal at great cost. The city-state of 5.5 million serves as neutral turf for both sides, since it has security partnerships with the US, a North Korean embassy and strong ties with China. He told reporters at a news conference on Monday, "We are hopeful the summit will have set the conditions for future productive talks".

Talks of this kind typically take months to prepare.

"It is the case that we are prepared to make security assurances necessary for the North Koreans to engage in that denuclearization", stated Pompeo.

What do both sides want?

He added he would know within minutes whether Kim was serious about negotiating away his nuclear weapons and has threatened to politely walk out if Kim doesn't meet his expectations. "The leader's excretions contain information about his health status so they can't be left behind", Yun-keol said. He has also said that North Korea would benefit economically after sanctions are lifted.

"It's important to remember who we are dealing with".

"I am on my way to Singapore where we have a chance to achieve a truly wonderful result for North Korea and the World", Trump wrote in a pair of tweets.

The sudden change in schedule added to a dizzying few days of foreign policy activity for Trump, who shocked USA allies over the weekend when he used a meeting of the Group of Seven industrialized economies in Canada to alienate America's closest friends in the West. Lashing out over trade practices, Trump lobbed insults at his G-7 host, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

But Trump and Kim will meet away from the bustling financial hub of the city, at The Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island. Still, some experts say it's important that both leaders come into the meeting with clear, realistic goals.
